Accident happened 11-20-08 surgery was 12-9-08. today its 2-20-09 I can do everything excepy walk. I use a walker, fell with crutches. I work I drive I tAKE A BATH BY MYSELF AND DRESS. I DID NOT take any pain meds, because I am a recovering addict. Morphine post surgery gave me nightmares. Used for 12 hours, hurt like crazy, but pain went away. i will ride again!!
